Osteo B II x 180 Tablets

The comprehensive formula of Osteo-B Plus® includes: Calcium, supplied in the highly bioavailable citrate form, which is especially important for those having difficulty absorbing calcium due to conditions associated with low stomach acid (such as hypochlorhydria). Magnesium, a co-factor for key enzymes in bone, is necessary for remodeling, and is involved in the conversion of vitamin D to its active hormone form. In osteoporotic women, abnormal mineralisation has been correlated with low magnesium levels. Magnesium and Calcium contribute to normal bone health. Micro-emulsified vitamin D supports calcium absorption. Manganese is included as it is required for the synthesis of connective tissue chondroitin sulphates that form the matrix upon which mineral deposition occurs. Zinc enhances the action of vitamin D and is a co-factor for alkaline phosphatase, an important enzyme found in bone. Boron affects the actions of hormones associated with bone health. Boron deficiency increases the rate of calcium excretion. Vitamin K is required for the synthesis of osteocalcin, the bone protein that attracts calcium to bone tissue. Other important nutrients contained in Osteo-B Plus® include B-Complex vitamins, vitamin C, purified chondroitin sulphate, SOD, and catalase.
